Immittance Spectral Pairs (ISP) form a new set of parameters proposed for presenting the LPC filter. ISP is close to LSP and owns similar ‘niceties’, yet it is different. For a filter of order n it consists of a ‘gain’ and n-1 ‘frequency’ parameters instead of n ‘frequency’ parameters for LSP. In regarding LPC as a pseudo model for the vocal tract ISP may represent the immittance at the glottis...

introduction:  skin  sparing  is  one  of  the  most  desirable  characteristics  of  high  energy  photon  beams. however, the photons emerging from the target of linacs are contaminated by secondary  electrons  as  a  result  of  their  interactions  with  air,  collimators,  flattening  filter  and  any  other  objects in their path. this phenomenon tends to increase the skin dose received b...

A finite lattice is interval dismantlable if it can be partitioned into an ideal and a filter, each of which can be partitioned into an ideal and a filter, etc., until you reach 1-element lattices. In this note, we find a quasi-equational basis for the pseudoquasivariety of interval dismantlable lattices, and show that there are infinitely many minimal interval non-dismantlable lattices. Define...

Notations For a real discrete-time filter whose impulse response is h[n], h̄[n] = h[−n], n ∈ Z is its timereversed version. The hat ˆ notation will be used for the Fourier transform of square-integrable signals. For a filter h, its z-transform is written H(z). The convolution product of two signals in l2(Z) will be written ∗. For the octave band wavelet representation, analysis (respectively, sy...

An integrated photonic architecture is introduced and used to realize an optical filter with direct form I realization. The architecture offers gain from semiconductor optical amplifiers, and this gain results in an active optical filter whose filter response depends on the individual gains. The presence of gain provides advantages in filter performance, and tunable and adaptive functionality. ...

This paper presents a novel on-chip passive bandpass filter for millimeter-wave (MMW) applications that utilizes a pair of electrically-coupled thru-silicon vias (TSV). The presented TSV bandpass filter can be used in MMW applications such as radar, medical imaging, and communication. The TSV bandpass filter uses two TSVs to extend two electrically-coupled conductors into the silicon substrate ...

This paper introduces an optimal active power filter design method to compensate simultaneously current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. The power filter consists of a passive RL low-pass filter placed in series with the load and a pure active filter which has RL elements connected in series with insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) based voltage source converter. The filt...

Addition of an input filter to a current-programmed converter can cause the controller to oscillate. Two instability mechanisms can typically occur: 1) the current programmed controller effective current feedback loop may become unstable, or 2) the controller effective input voltage feed forward loop, which becomes a positive feedback loop when an input filter is added, may oscillate. Design cr...

A method of analyzing switched-capacitor (SC) filters which incorporates a single-pole model of the operational amplifiers (op amp’s) is presented. Closed-form algebraic expressions for filter transfer functions in the z-domain are obtained which are computationally more efficient than time-domain methods. The necessity for including a frequency dependent model of the op amp rather than the com...
